4.0 out of 5 stars
An interesting collection of essays - 4 *,
By
This review is from: What Is Science? 12 Eminent Scientists and Philosophers Explain Their Various Fields to the Layman (Paperback)
This book consists of 12 essays, written by such important personages as Bertrand Russel, Hermann Bondi, Edward Condon, Julian Huxley and Erich Fromm. These essays were written for a general audience, but one that was not afraid of some math, physics and a few chemical symbols. For the most part they detail some of the history of their subject and a little about it. The big negative is the age of the book. Being originally written in 1955 (the hardcover version), much of the content is seriously out of date. This is especially true of the Bondi's Astronomy and Cosmology chapter. Thus, I could only rate the book 4 stars.
